Who: Bruce Banner & Lagertha
What: Hugging it out...wait what?
When: Today. Right now.
Where: The Villa gardens
Status: Ongoing

Considering his usual state was somewhere between depressed and mildly content, Bruce wasn't exactly disappointed by the forced happiness pushed on them all. But the not being able to come down from it was confusing his brain. He knew, logically, that this was probably going to suck when the Entity got bored and let them all go, but for now, he didn't really have a choice but to smile disgustingly everywhere he went.

It was a little bit easier to deal with if he cut himself off from people so he headed up to the gardens. They relaxed him. Maybe the other him, the one James knew, had been smart, finding solace in plants. The ones James had given him did seem to cheer him up a bit. And the garden up here was soothing in the worst of times.

Ordinarily he was alone, but there was a pretty blond woman and, well... "Not again," he muttered, but immediately reached out to hug her. "Hi!"

Yeah. This could stop any time now.

She wanted to be mad about the hug. She wanted to be mad about the invasion of her personal space. But she couldn't and by the gods that was annoying. She'd come up for much the same reason: to get away from people.

Instead she hugged the man back. "Greetings!" She'd been tending plants quietly for hours, she enjoyed the space. It reminded her a little of home.

"I would ask how you are but..." she waved a hand, cheerfully.by the gods she was ready to stab someone, though at this rate jt would extra cheerful and not helping.

"If I answered anything other than 'happy', I would think something was wrong." Though there were many synonyms for happy. And now he had the sudden urge to tease his roommate about their current predicament.

If the woman stabbed someone cheerfully, Bruce wouldn't have been at all surprised. This place was really starting to mess with his head. Hell, if she stabbed him cheerfully, he would probably smile about it. And try and hug her again. That was getting...terribly inconvenient. "I'm sorry to have bothered you." His words were betrayed by the perky tone that was entirely out of place on him.

	She laughed, though she didn't want to. The relentless good mood was dragging on and she was really starting to think she'd never feel anything but happy again. "No real bother." She replied with a cheerful smile, "the gardens are a great place to get away to. They bring honest pleasure." She knelt back down to pluck a weed she'd seen out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She definitely had an eye for the plants. Before coming here, the closest he'd really come to enjoying plant life was using them for experimentation and chemical alteration. Sometimes natural medicines if his location called for it. Here, though... Well. He had time. No one was chasing him, no one expected much of him. So he could, literally, stop and smell the flowers.

He squatted beside her, reaching out to gently brush a finger against a petal. "Do you think they're affected by this...whatever this is? Spell? Or the animals?" It was tough to tell with Tony's pets and the farm animals. Most of them seemed content all the time anyway.

"I do not understand this place, but I would imagine they are affected too. Though perhaps not as much as we are." She gently set the weed aside. It would be useful later, it just didn't need to grow right there.

"They probably have less qualms about it though." She offered as she picked an aphid off the leaf of another plant. She smoothed the leaf and smiled at him

He couldn't help watching how tender she was with a weed. Most people would have yanked it and tossed it to the side but she seemed to show it genuine care. "Do you communicate with the plant life?" He knew some people could - you didn't meet as many powered people as he did without finding a few odd things. But it was another thing entirely to meet someone who did.

"I'm glad you're up here. I know next to nothing about actually taking care of them. I just bring some water up if they're looking a little dry." And then he remembered his manners and offered a hand, beaming brightly. "I'm Bruce."

"I do not but I was raised to be a farmer and was a farmer for much of my life - before I was a Jarl's wife and a queen and after all that as well. Plants are in my blood, I suppose." she smiled a bit, "Even weeds have a use, you know."

"I can teach you, if you would like to learn?" she offered with a warm smile, "It would be my pleasure." she took the offered hand after a moment. She was not used to such gestures so she was a little hesitant. "I am Lagertha."
